Ishikawa Toraji (1875-1964) was a Japanese painter and printmaker who blended Western artistic techniques with traditional Japanese ukiyo-e style. In 1902, he co-founded the Pacific Western-style Art Society Institute which included fellow printmaker Hiroshi Yoshida. Toraji is most celebrated for his controversial 1934-1935 woodblock print series "Ten Types of Female Nudes," which introduced Western-style nude figures into Japanese printmaking with vibrant colors. He died in Tokyo in 1964 at age 89.
